29th September
~End of autumn~
“Hah?? You’re going to married??” we were very surprised.
“Yes. Please, blessed both of us,” Inoue-san bowed to us all.
“Why it’s so very sudden??” asked one of us, Nemu-san.
“Hehehe… we have been ready to have a family,”
How lucky she was. She would be married 2 weeks later and got out from her job. Her future husband is a successful entrepreneur. How happy they were. I wanna married too…
“When?” asked Dr. Abarai when I was asked him to go there together.
“Next 2 weeks,”
“Oh, maybe I’ll come there,”
“Really??”
“If, my business has been finished,”
“Ah! You’re cruel!” I beat his shoulder.
He laughed, “How if we go to date after attend that ceremony??”
— Marriage Ceremony
I was invited to a big church in the middle of the city. After I got out from Dr. Abarai’s car, I saw a huge ceremony would be held here. The wine, the cake, the flowers. Ah, too much beauty that I couldn’t drew it by words.
Then, I saw Inoue-san.
“Hey, beauty,” I addressed her.
“Oh! Hai! Why you come earlier?? You made me surprised,”
“I just want to meet the bride,” I held her both hands.
I swore! She was damn beautiful with that gown!
“You’re very beautiful,” I muttered.
“Hey, when will you married??” seemed she teased me.
“With whom??”
“Dr. Abarai. I’ll be waiting your invitation,”
“Ah! Don’t tease me!!”
“You’re such a shy girl,” She pinched my cheeks.
“I don’t know when. It seemed, He cannot marry me,”
“Why??”
“Come-on, Inoue-chan. I’m his subordinate, and He’s a hospital owner’s son. We cannot married because of this degree,”
“You can marry him with your love,”
“Love is meaningless if you compare it with wealth and richness,”
“I’m sure, my dear Aiko-chan. He’ll be marrying you if He’s really love you,” She wiped my cheeks.
I just can smile when I heard those words.
“Now, you go to him. Accompany him. I’m sure; He’s looking for you right now,”
The ceremony has been finished.
The flower bucket began to throw. I’d be so ready at the time. I just want to be happy with Dr. Abarai, not much… only that think that I always asked.
“I throw it now…!”
Inoue-san began to throw it. I jumped, and tried to reach it.
Yes!! I got it!!
But…
Shit! I lost my balance. I’ll be fallen down! Oh, I can’t hold it on the midair.
Then…
BRAKKK…!!
My body was fallen down on Dr. Abarai.
“I’m sorry, Doctor,” I rose up quickly. Unluckily, his hand scratched by the broken piece of a broken glass.
“Damn, Doctor you’re bleeding…” I took his hand. Oh, the wound looked very awfully. The pieces still stuck in his hand. The bloods flowed and drip one by one.
“You idiot.” He scolded me, “how dare you jumped like that without any considerations!!?”
“I’m so sorry, Doctor… I didn’t mean to… I … I…just want to get that bucket,”
“You can asked me to buy it for you??” looked He was very upset.
“But, that is the happiness bucket,” I felt very guilty.
“You’re not injured, aren’t you??” He shook my shoulders sofly.
“I’m alright,” I dripped the tears of guilty.
“Daijoubu. Stop crying…” He hugged me with the other hand.
At last, we didn’t attend the final reception.
Dr. Abarai was treated inside the church, and I accompanied him.
“You’re the one who very obsessed with marriage don’t you??” He lifted his face too looked at me. Because I was stood up and He was sat down.
“I like marriage. The event when we can wear the beautiful gown, when we walked to the new life, we had kissing with the one that we loved, ah… I admired marriage so much…”
Then, He laughed, “Why are you laughing for?” I scolded him.
“You just like a freaky little kid,” He patted me.
“So, you think that marriage isn’t important for you?” I winded his wounds.
“No. after my mom’s was dead, my father married again with a new woman, and born my little brother. Is that called love? I think, love is we can faith for the one that we love. My father is unfaith,”
I knew his feeling. From very young, He never felt his mother’s love. Suddenly, without expected, a new woman came into his life and forced him to call her ‘mother’. Is that so mean for me…
“Even, I have no interest in marry someone. I prefer to our relationship like this,” He looked at me and smiled.
“No bounds between us?”
“Imagine it. If we both are married, you cannot avoid every quarrel. We may have a lot of quarrels everyday. Because of what? After someone was married, He showed his true habits. Maybe that cause the partner annoyed,”
I see… we both so different. I admired the marriage, He defected the marriage.
I guess, I cannot stand up in altar side by side with him.
I was very disappointed.
“But, thank god… I’ve seen such beautiful scenery so long this. I’ve seen the positive sight of marriage,”
“Huh??” I didn’t understand what He has said. He spoke suddenly.
“I’ve seen the positive sight from a beautiful woman who standing tall front of me now,” He smiled at me.
I just kept silent. Then, He reached my hand and opened it. He gave me a beautiful present. A beautiful ring lied in that box.
“Izumi, would you be my wife??” He wiped my hair.
I was so happy at the time, “yes…” I just whispered. I couldn’t say anything. Only my tears drew my feeling at the time. He hugged me. Deeply.
I was crying on his lap.
